Just watching Brassed off, so very handsome.

I remember watching trainspotting when I was about 15 and being absolutely in awe of him back then too.

I'm sorry but he looked like every other white boy on the estate I lived in as a youngster, perhaps with a better chin but that's it.
I've always found him a sleazy, slimy thing to watch on screen.

Tom hardy is worse! Good lord what do you find attractive about those two?

HeddaGarbled · 30/12/2025 20:14

Cheated on his wife of many years. Don’t they all?

Love Brassed off, I watched it for Ewan as a teen and also got a crush on Stephen Tomlinson from it of all people in that role 😅
Going to have to watch it this week.

He had affair with his co star in Fargo, and they have a child and live in LA now and yes he dumped his wife for a younger model.

She really is a younger model - looks just like his wife did when they first got together. The first Mrs McGregor was a fair bit older than him and pre-affair I loved that about him, that he didn’t care. Then he spoilt it by trading her in when she got past her sell by date. Disappointing.

The new woman was embraced by her predecessor before it all came out and invited into the family home for dinner etc. Just awful.

Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge faints and when he sings "Come What May" I just melt

Only the really gorgeous blokes have bum chins. It’s as if God popped a little cherry on his most beautiful cakes.

I saw him in a play last year in London and he looks even better now, he’s got this raw cheerful energy still which he had in Trainspotting. It’s great and unusual in a middle aged man.

ManyPigeons · 30/12/2025 20:40

Meh, looks pretty ordinary to me

It was Moulin Rouge that sealed it for me.

“my gift is my song” …

Oh God I fucking hate that song and even more with EM singing it!

Ah but Tom Hardy also left his child and wife for his current wife (they met filming Wuthering Heights)
But who can blame her Mrs for falling in love with Tom Hardy playing Heathcliffe? She had no chance.

See I don’t mind this because it can fuel my fantasies that somehow i’ll end up in the gorgeous celebrities orbit somehow and they’ll inexplicably find me so irresistible they’ll forget their current wife and chase me 😆

I think Ewan looks quite blah on photos but on film he is lovely.
